Marvelous link the spouse sent me this morning - real time audiovisual representation of Wikipedia edits.

Pluck sounds are additions, strings are subtractions, and the pitch says how how big the edit is. The sound stream makes a lovely ambient background.

Diameter of the circle is likewise correlated to size of the edit, gray is a registered user, purple is a bot edit, green is an unregistered user.

Check out the Settings page for Wiki language, hashtag filtering, etc.
